Tinker
A Python program to track ideas, issues and fixes in any project. Taking you through how I got the idea and how you can use it! 2020-08-25
The idea
I first got the idea of making such a system when I was creating this very website. I had notes everywhere for keeping track of things I needed to do on the project: on my cell phone, on my computer, inside the code itself... After a while, it gets really messy and unorganized, so I thought to myself:
I should totally make a program to handle it all for me!
And so this is how Tinker got to be.
How to Use it
In order to download the program, you need to install Python 3 and Git on a Windows
or Linux
computer, and then git clone
the following: https://github.com/Bricktech2000/tkr.git
Once you have done so, you should have the full code copied on your own machine. Then, read the README.md file in Tinker's repository to get instructions on how to use it!
Moving Forward
I think this small program will help me a lot when working on larger-scale projects. I have just initialized Tinker on this website to help me track everything I need to do from now on. I will use it for a little while, and probably make an update to this post to let you know if it is any good!
Update
Unfortunately, this website is not a good candidate for such a program. TODO
s can simply be inlined exactly where they belong, and new features can be implemented in a few hours at most. Since I do not need to keep track of dozens of TODO
s at once, I decided to uninstall Tinker from this website.
